Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

What are you playing? 11/12/2011

Posted on Saturday, November 12 @ 10:57:31 Eastern by

This is absolute insanity. Last year, I thought we were busy. That's nothing compared to Fall 2011. How did all of these games get crammed into such a tight space again? I don't think I need 20 questions to guess what you guys will be playing, but I'll ask anyways.

GameRevolution's review of Assassin's Creed: Revelations will probably take precedent of everything else, with my love for gorgeous 2D platforming in Rayman Origins winning out over Skyrim and MW3 in the great battle for weekend gaming time.

What are you playing?

    Just finished Super Mario Land for Gameboy. This is the one where either Mario and Peach are role playing or Mario flat out cheats on her. Now going for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

    I am still playing Dark Souls. Dark Souls, I CAN'T QUIT YOU! Seriously, I'm on New Game +2 and I am still loving every bit of it. I have Rage, Uncharted 3, BF3, Arkham City, Shadow/Ico Collection, God of War Origin Collection, and now Skyrim all collecting dust still in there plastic because of Dark Souls.

    I don't believe the guys who say "Skyrim" because if that were true they wouldn't even be here lol

    That said, I've just started playing Team Fortress 2 woohoo! Mostly because it is "free", and although I suck, I'm having so much fun, especially reliving my days as a WoW Rogue with the Spy class. No Ambush though :(

    What console were you playing it in?

    I don't want to imagine the frustration, I get really mad when I lose even a minute of progress. And if it happens again, oh boy that game DVD is so gonna regret that.

    Skyrim, BF3. Picked up MW3 last night, playing that tomorrow night. Still playing through Alpha Protocol and Alice: Madness Returns. Gonna get to Trine this week, hopefully, in anticipation of Trine 2.

    I liked Alpha Protocol too. It had some issues, but all in all I do not regret getting it for less than 20 bucks. If you have Gamefly, rent it first to be certain.

    I was playing Skyrim till my son finished school then I had to give him his copy as my copy is still in the mail and his got delivered on a postal holiday by courier. Now I have to wait until Wendesday to continue. But I think BF3, MW3, Batman, GOW3 and Forza 4 will tide me over. It will have to because now I'm broke :(

    Even I'm playing Skyrim, Daniel. Before it came out I was probably the most unenthused person in regards to its release, but EVEN. I. AM. PLAYING. SKYRIM. This entire "What are you playing" is basically a write-off.

    Arkham Asylum with Twilight Princess oft interspersed, getting my good dose of adventure games and loving it. I'm getting so far behind now though that one might mistake me for a really lazy time traveler.

    I am still playing through new game + mode of Arkham City. Such a great game. It's just too bad my boss wouldn't believe me if I told him I couldn't come into work because I was busy cleaning up the streets with my own preferred brand of vigilante justice.
